SHOW:

I have INS. Have had it for years. , after I developed Lupus, however, I came down with a HOST if other Autoimmune Diseases. Including, but not limited to, Ischemic Bowel Disease, and my personal favorite- Microscopic Ulcerative colitis. How I got SO lucky I have NO IDEA! I had been given Anaspaz, years ago for the pain and bloating if the IBS, and it worked well - SO well, in fact, that I forgot I took it! An attack if one if the intestinal diseases , plus uncontrollable vomiting landed me in the ER- AGAIN- 3 days ago. I left with quite few prescriptions, among them was oine fir Levsin 1.25 sublingual tablets . THEN I remembered these! They are a lifesaver!! Make life almost with living. Again ! Thank God I rediscovered them, through a very caring ER Doctor!!! I am ever so grateful!!!

I have Crohn's disease which causes debilitating cramping. I take the dissolve tablet under my tounge which makes it work fast. However the onset of cramping is not predictable so I usually experience one episode in pain. I take it as soon as I can and it prevents pain for most of the rest of the day.

Rated Hyoscyamine (Levsin) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome Report

Several colon resections left me with almost uncontrollable IBS. After trying other medications, MD put me on Hyoscyamine twice daily and as needed. Changed my life considerably. Will attempt to add more fiber to diet again to see if it helps-made my symptoms worse in the beginning.

Rated Hyoscyamine (Levsin) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome Report

It works better than anything else that I have tried. It does cause dryness of the mouth if you take more than one. Sometimes if I feel an attack coming on I take an extra one.

Rated Hyoscyamine (Levsin) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome Report

I have severe IBS. I have tried a lot of meds. I found hyoscymamine to be the best so far. I also use fiber products as hyoscymaine does not solve the entire problem but I highly recommend it.
